Half-price Kindles up for grabs in Amazon's Black Friday sale - deals end tonight! 👀

Update 21 November, 2024 (3pm): There are stock issues with the Kindle Paperwhite Kids (half-price deal). Try refreshing the page and selecting a different cover design to search for availability.

Amazon's Black Friday sale has kicked off early and as part of the site-wide promotion you can currently save big on popular Kindles including brand-new models and Kindle Paperwhites that are highly praised on our Mumsnet forums for being lightweight and waterproof. The best discount applies to the Kindle Paperwhite Kids which is on sale for just £80, a saving of 50%!

If you've yet to invest in a Kindle, are looking to upgrade an existing model or are on the hunt for a Christmas present for a booklover, it's worth nabbing a Black Friday deal right now. We haven't seen a Kindle sale for a while (there were no price cuts announced during Amazon's Prime Day sale last month) so it's well worth taking advantage while the prices are low.

50% OFF the All-New Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Kids - was £160, now £80

The main question is whether you want a regular Kindle, a Kindle Paperwhite, a Kindle Scribe or a Kindle Colorsoft. We've highlighted the key differences for you to consider below:

• Kindle (was £95, now £80): Original Kindle. The all-new model features a glare-free display, an adjustable front light and a long battery (16 GB)

• Kindle Paperwhite (was £160, now £125): Ultra thin design, adjustable light settings, waterproof. A single battery charge can last up to 12 weeks (16 GB)

• Kindle Paperwhite Signature (was £190, now £155): Fastest Kindle with auto-adjusting front light (32 GB)

• Kindle Scribe (was £410, now £265): Kindle and digital notebook combined. Great for drawing, taking notes and for pdfs. Large screen size and adjustable light (64 GB)

• Kindle Kids Paperwhite (was £160, now £80): Ultra thin, comes with 1000+ books, a cover, and a two-year warranty

• Kindle Kids: Comes with a cover, one year of Amazon Kids+ and a two-year warranty

• Kindle Colorsoft: Colour display, auto-adjusting front light, wireless charging and a long battery life, waterproof.

And don't forget that if you're looking to upgrade your existing Kindle, you can get a discount of up to 20% when you trade-in your old model. The offer can be used in conjunction with Black Friday offers so you can save big on a brand-new product!

When is Black Friday 2024?

For 2024, Black Friday takes place on Friday 29 November. However, this year some retailers launched their deals as early as 31 October. Amazon's Black Friday sale runs from Thursday 21 November to Monday 2 December.

Cyber Monday 2024 falls on Monday 2 December. Traditionally, Black Friday was more focused on in-store sales whereas, as the name suggests, Cyber Monday was mainly for online discounts. As most people now do lots of their shopping online, this distinction is less clear, and you can get fantastic deals from online retailers over this weekend and throughout the whole of November.

What were the best Kindle deals over Black Friday 2023?

These were just some of the best discounts on Kindles last year:

Kindle Paperwhite: From £130 to £95

Kindle Paperwhite Kids: From £140 to £110

Kindle Paperwhite Signature: From £180 to £145

Kindle Oasis: From £230 to £170

What is Kindle Daily Deal?
